Ben thought he would like to spend at least a month over them. Supper-time came too soon. Mrs. French said she had enjoyed every moment of Hanny's visit, and hoped to have her a whole week in the summer vacation, and the young men must feel they would be welcome any time. "I've just been crowded full of delight," exclaimed Hanny, with her good-bye kiss.
But Hanny might have turned the tables, if she had seen grandmother when she had to be in school. As for Grandfather Underhill, he thought with Hanny there never had been such a smart and wonderful baby. Jim taught him some rather reprehensible tricks. He was still full of fun and mischief, and already had a crowd of admirers in college. And, oh, how they missed the baby when he was gone!
But all the little girls are wearing short dresses, and you are to have some new ones. Mother has gone out shopping, and next week cousin Cynthia Blackfan is coming to fix us all up. But I do hope, Hanny, you will have better manners and a kinder heart than to laugh at strangers, no matter if they are rather old-fashioned." "I don't believe I ever will," said the little girl soberly.
I just adore little women. When I marry, I am going to choose a 'bonnie wee thing, like the wife in the song." Hanny flushed rosy red. Oh, why would people talk about being married, and all that? And if Peter wouldn't look at her in just that way! It gave her a touch of embarrassment. But oh, they had a splendid time! Modern young people would have been bored, and voted it "no spread at all."
But may be they'll leave the little girl you seem to have taken such a notion to her." Hanny didn't want to be impolite and she really did like Mr. Beekman, but as for staying her heart was up in her throat. Dolly picked up Katschina and carried her in triumph. Two white paws lay over Dolly's shoulder.
Then they ran round to look at the water-wheel and the little pond where the stream was dammed so there would be no lack of water in a dry time. They had a drawing pattern in school just like it, except that it lacked the broken rustic bridge a little higher up. She would take a new interest in drawing it now. It was noon when they reached home, and Hanny felt real hungry, though Mrs.
"There are roses from Spain, from France and Italy." Hanny opened her eyes very wide, and then she looked at them again in surprise. "Oh, how could you get them?" she asked. "I brought them from their homes. You see I have been quite a traveller, also." The child drew a long breath. "Did you go with Captain French?" she inquired. "Yes.
"No one can tell what will happen to her. I shouldn't have thought it of Mr. Theodore. The women, of course, are not overweighted with common sense, and the poor child has no mother." "Oh, dear," sighed Hanny, "all the little girls are dropping out; and we used to have such nice times. I do wonder if Daisy means ever to come back.
"Yes, Daisy's mother or Dolly would have to go." That gave him an idea, and he went down to see Mrs. Jasper. "Why, I really think I would like to go myself," she said. "We do not consider Daisy quite a grown-up lady. I should like to keep her just a young girl for a long while; but, perhaps, that will not be possible." "Hanny is a very young girl," returned Joe.
And her lovely curls were quite long again. She certainly was very pretty. But when Hanny took this trouble to her father, he only laughed and squeezed her in his arms, and sometimes rubbed her soft cheeks with his beard, his old trick, as he said: "But I want to keep you my little girl. I don't want you to grow big like Margaret.
